Our fishing buddy asked me to do some Salmon Jerky with a few chunks of his fish.
Started with 6# of raw King Salmon. Skinned and thinly sliced with the grain.
Into a simple brine of 4/1 ratio of dark brown sugar / non iodized salt.
Brined in the fridge for 3.5 hours
Onto the racks for a room drying session of 2 hours.
Out into the Big Chiefs, controlled by a couple PID controllers for a smoke session of 2.5 hours using Alder pellets, starting out at 130 for 1st hour, then bumped to 145* for remaining time in the smoker. Then into the dehydrator for 3 hours at 160*.
Ended up with 2# of finished product. Our fishing buddy better not give all this Jerky away and keep some for the upcoming Salmon season.
And what was for dinner? Go figure!
